That isn't the distinction between censorship and moderation [1].
Censorship is the removal or blocking of speech, moderation is a broader term that can include practices like flagging content without removing or hiding it completely.
The state actor distinction in the US is only important when deciding if a party is bound by the First Amendment. My speech is protected from government censorship, not from censorship by a private company.
